Billie Lourd says she feels mom Carrie Fisher’s ‘presence’ 7 years after her death: ‘Eyes welled up with tears’

May the force always be with Billie Lourd.

The “Scream Queens” star, 31, penned a heartfelt tribute to her mother, the late Carrie Fisher, on the seventh anniversary of her death.

Fisher and her mother, actress Debbie Reynolds, both died within a day of each other in late December 2016.

Lourd posted a throwback photo of herself and the “Star Wars” actress playing on the beach via social media.

“Every anniversary brings a different iteration of my grief. Some infuse me with rage, some make me cry all day long, some make me feel dissociated and empty,” she wrote on Wednesday.

The “American Horror Story” alum added that some anniversaries make her “feel nothing” and “some make me feel guilty for feeling nothing.”

This year, Lourd noted that she woke up feeling “grateful — or griefull — if you will.”

“Grief has infused my life with a sense of appreciation I had never had before. It makes me soak up every moment of joy as if it were my last,” she wrote.

She further described how her “eyes welled up with tears of joy” when she held her daughter, Jackson, on Wednesday.

“I laughed at myself then cried more cause I was laughing. I felt my mom’s presence like the warmth of the sun on your skin on a hot summer day,” she continued.

“The kind of warmth where you unknowingly close your eyes and take a slow breath through your nose and grin,” Lourd added.

The “Booksmart” actress scribed that she “missed [her mom] every day, but the cliche is also true.”

“She is with me every day, she infuses my joyful moments with even more joy,” Lourd penned.

“As I tell my son, she lives in the stars — and she damn sure makes my life sparkle,” she concluded. “Sending my love to all my griefers out there. And hoping everyone can feel a little sparkle of griefull among all the feelings grief inevitably brings.”

Lourd also shares son Kingston, 3, with husband Austin Rydell.

Fisher died at the age of 60 on Dec. 27, 2016, after suffering a massive heart attack aboard a plane.

The “Singin’ in the Rain” icon passed away the next day from a stroke.

Earlier this year, Lourd honored her late mom when she was posthumously awarded with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

She donned a maxi dress that was painted with an image of Princess Leia, Fisher’s character from the famed “Star Wars” franchise.
